Here's a quick update on the snow potential for this weekend...it's still too early to say what the grand total will be but tonight's run of the Euro model is interesting. After pushing some of the very heavy snow North (and into the Quad City metro area) recently, this latest model run has shifted the heaviest snow back down to the South a little bit. This is actually pretty close to what the GFS is saying also, as far as where the heaviest snow will set up. There are still many variables that just can't be pinned down yet, but the track and intensity of the storm, and therefore how much snow falls in the Quad Cities should come into better focus by Thursday! In the meantime here are latest model runs from the 2 most heavily used models...the GFS is the American model and the ECMWF (Euro) is run by our weather friends in Europe.

You'll want to pay close attention to the forecast for this weekend, especially if you have travel plans around the Midwest! As of tonight, travel to Chicago, Peoria, Indianapolis and Bloomington, IL looks worse than if you're driving to Des Moines or The Twin Cities this weekend...stay tuned!
